Provisioning backup or replication hardware and software in each of your remote or branch office locations takes significant effort and is a drain on your IT budget. Backing up data at remote locations is notoriously unreliable, and the job tends to fall on non-IT employees. Worse, too many remote locations rely on tape backup systems and software that are expensive and hard to manage. Multiply the daily management of backup processes across many locations and you have a significant challenge on your hands.
